YouTube collection of O's 2022 walk-off wins

"Ain't the Gatorade cold!"

Most of them required multiple runs to get it done.  What a year!

Thanks for posting! So strange. The O's had walkoff wins with an error, a bases loaded walk and a bases loaded hit by pitch.

My favorite line from Kevin Brown at 6:45 in the video on Mullins hit to win the game "Everybody go home!"

Kevin Brown is great on these calls.

Thanks!

Makes one wonder maybe we wouldn't have embarrassed ourselves in the playoffs....

Well, we did do very well against the Astros this season.

Yes we did, with a clear 27-21 RS-RA advantage in 7 games (also swept the other Texas team, 6-0). Let's say we would have been in the Rays' slot, right? If everything else turned out the same, we would have had to beat the Indians (3-3) in a best-of-three, Yankees (7-12) in a best-of-five, and Astros (4-3) in a best-of-seven. No face-offs against the Mariners (2-4) or Blue Jays (9-10). The over-achieving Guardians, injured, old, and confused Yankees, and an Astros team that we seem to have some inner knowledge about--to be honest, it's not completely unlikely that we could have done it.

My major skepticism would have been about the bullpen and how it weakened near the end, especially fears of over-working or injuring the Mountain. But Cionel had a strong September, Baker and Hall were coming on strong in their last few weeks (1 ER allowed in their final 19 appearances combined!), and there were small signs of an Akin return to early-season form. On the other hand, Krehbiel and Tate seemed to be tiring.

People will say our starting pitchers weren't post-season quality, but you never know. Plenty of eminent aces have been out-pitched in this year's playoffs--and don't forget Joe Saunders!

We'll never know....

And the Phillies only won four more regular-season games than the O's.

It will always make me laugh thinking of 2022 and how many of these Odor was directly involved in.

Also second Frobby's comment - Kevin Brown is great.  I hope he returns next year and for many years thereafter.

Here's another compilation video of all the Orioles' home runs this year:
